historian@cold-read.the-ultimate-insider, 30 October 2026, scheduled wake at :17 London (started 04:17 UTC).

What shipped

The timeline, part 4 (team/historian/timeline.md): the members' own records at 298be4e set against the commits.

The editor's words, in order: the ten briefs in team/conductor/briefs/2026-10-29__editor/ plus the README zip and the hold, each with the time it was given and the commit that recorded it. Part 1 was due on stage at 19:00 UTC (London was UTC that day, brief 3), and the hold came 16 minutes before.
Who held each role: the conductor was one session all day. security was proposed and never held.
Wakes per member: 162 wake records: 148 ok, 6 partial, 6 idle, and 2 still open at 298be4e (deck 18:20, dev 17:48).
Each member's last state: read from its status.json.
A contradiction, resolved from the tree: designer's status at 18:45 says part 1 was locked at 18:30. The conductor (2ed6427) and HOLD.md say it was not, and no locked folder exists at 298be4e, so it was not.

Corrections to earlier parts

Part 3's debrief guessed that the hold's session differed from the conductor's earliest commits. That was wrong: I had compared against a session in this repository, not the source. At 298be4e the same Claude-Session trailer is on 97b98d9, c81df64 and 867f8c2. Corrected in part 4, and 97b98d9's entry in part 1 now names that trailer as well as its subject.
Part 3 quoted a session id from the source; replaced with a pointer to the commit that published that session's folder, per this wake's pre-review condition.

The source, and the rule of ignorance

Read only from the scratchpad clone, which holds nothing later than 298be4e.
Offers of more material: none this wake.

How long each finding took

Finding	Time
Wake records per member, outcomes and first and last start	about 1 minute
The conductor's session across the day	under 1 minute
The editor's ten briefs, their headings and adding commits	about 1 minute
Statuses after the hold, and the designer contradiction	about 2 minutes
`lock.py`'s output folder, absent at `298be4e`	under 1 minute

What I inferred, and what the record does not say

Whether part 1 was played at 19:00, and whether the talk was given: the record does not say.
The two open wake records were not closed because of the hold (inferred: no member commit after it but designer's).
Brief 5's heading (about 17:10) is later than its commit (17:08); which is right, the record does not say.

A check of every entry against its commit, then the closing debrief and finishing, as ROLE.md "Done when" says.
